Project Earth H2O Partners with Nature & Culture International

Buy a bottle, help save a tropical forest. Pennsylvania-based Project Earth H2o has added Nature & Culture International to the list of organizations it has chosen to help. The company has announced it will donate two dollars from every Ocean, Air & Earth bottle it sells to NCI.

NCI, which is based in Delmar, California, works to conserve some of the world’s most diverse, yet highly threatened, ecosystems and cultures. Along with being a pioneer in teaching tens of thousands of children the importance of sustainable living, the organization has been reaching beyond North America’s borders since 1997 to help protect millions of acres of tropical forests.

“These forests are the life support systems of the world in many ways, yet they are disappearing at an unprecedented rate,” Nature & Culture International’s Mike McColm says. “A number of medicines are derived from plants found in rainforests, one of which is used to treat childhood leukemia. Several flavors we all enjoy come from rainforests, including; chocolate, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Sadly, rain-forest destruction has been measured to be responsible for about 20 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. As you can see, there are a number of important reasons for us, as Americans, to want to help protect these valuable areas.”

Project Earth H2o founder Brian Denton believes in NCI’s cause. Denton’s company created a stainless steel, reusable water bottle for two primary reasons. The first goal is to supply people with a safe, healthy alternative to the billions of single-use bottled water being used today. A side from clogging the nation’s landfills and polluting the oceans, toxins from these petroleum-based water bottles are re-leasing harmful toxins into our soil and our waterways each year. The second goal is to help support non-profit organizations that are determined to make a difference.*

“From the very beginning, our vision has been to make a positive impact on environmental and economic issues by simply by providing high-quality products to our customers, and to do something constructive with the profits. In NCI’s case, small sums of money have dramatic impacts. A dollar to you and me represents 10 dollars to NCI,” Denton says. “We kicked off our partnership with a donation that has already saved four acres of endangered forests. This area will absorb more than 72 metric tons of CO2 emissions a year. That’s the equivalent of 13.9 cars. So when you buy a Project Earth H2o bottle, you are really making a difference.”
